Add Shell access on a account ?

[maxhost]

hi,
how can we add shell access on a existent account ?
I now there is a way but, don't remember... how.....



Thank's

quickest way is through the shell, change their /etc/passwd entry to be ::/HOMEROOT/user:/bin/bash

instead of ::/HOMEROOT/user:/usr/local/cpanel/bin/noshell


I'm not sure this is tweakable via WHManager yet- doubtful.
It would be under &modify account& (left pane in WHM), if it was going to give you this option.

hi,
unfortunately the WHM has no option to change this...

that's why the omniscient ruler created feature requests...

If you need clarification of what I described, just ask.
Have a great evening

SSH is active on that account..

Another way

Another way of doing this is to creat a similar plan but with shell access.
And just upgrade the plan.
